SAID TO FEED ON INSECTS
Pitcher Plant Known to SciertUts as One of the Wonders f th Vegetable Kingdom. Tho pitcher plnnt Is one of th freaks of plant life. It grows In swampy lands and Is well known In Canada. The flowers, touched with beautiful, delicate tints, are prized for decorative purposes. But the wonder of the pitcher plant Is Its leaves. They are green, water-holding pitchers, beautifully veined with red and purple, with considerable variation la form. During rainfalls they are filled with water. This largely evaporates, leaving the neeptncle half full. Externally these cups are smooth, whll Internally they are lined with fine bristle pointing downward. There Is also a sticky, sugary seirt of semi-fluid sub-stnne-e to bo found aremnd the Inner margin of the bowl or pitcher. This nrninge-ment not only attracts a large number e.f tiny Inse-cts, but they are so oage-r to fe'ed on the sugary substance that not a few tumble Into the water bedow and die there. They cannet fly out. for the lines of flight would be practically vertical, while hundreds e.f little bristles confronting them prevent ese-npe over the surfne by wHking out. Many believe that the p';.nt. ihr.. ugh Its leaves, absoi bs the d! .restive j.arfs of these inse-cts, and that they thus contribute to Its nutrition; In oilier wi.rd. that the pitcher t hint to this extent Is one of the carnivores e.f the vegetable kingdom.
